How do people have the balls to jump under a train?

[Ednospatient]

How do people get the courage to jump in front of a train? I want to die 100% but I would never jump in front of a train, too much gore and I don't want to get chopped up into pieces.

Because it is quick and impulsive and some people do it in a zombie like state of numbness. I don't think I could do it.

I thought about the train method to ctb once, but I quickly changed my mind when I realized that there will be a lot of people unrelated to me that will suffer the consequences, like the train driver and bystanders. Maybe those people didn't plan to do it, they just did it on the spot, without having the time and mindset to think about the outcome, they were obviously not thinking rationally.

Desperation really. Someone that just wants the pain to stop.

 

[residentfromhell]

It's probably just a quick method of death. I wanna die too but yeah I just don't have the courage to jump in front of a train.. Plus, the people on the train might be traumatized forever by that so you know...

I want the pain to stop but I still can't make myself do it.

I was thinking about it before I found this forum and did learn about SN method.

I doubt I could have done that either. The research I did shows that kill rate isn't really as high because there is a huge chance that you just going to get bounce from the hit and end up surviving with broken body or even in vegetable state, paralyzed. It's really horrible and unreelable.

I think a big factor is that some places post that the ctb rate is 90%. It isn't, though, it's more like 70%. For the people who survive they often have amputations of limbs and all kinds of other damage.

 

[Someone123]

A train is a rough way to go IF you go.

That's for sure. I've seen rep0orts of people who survive in the hospital for up to four days after this method- how the train hits you and how it affects you are unpredictable- there is no way to make it highly reliable.

 

[FuneralCry]

I know that I could never ctb by train, it sounds like a horrible way to leave this world. I think that maybe people are able to get the courage as they feel they have no other option, maybe they attempted hanging and failed and they have nowhere high enough to jump from and they just want the suffering to end. No one should have to resort to methods like the train, we all deserve the option of a peaceful exit at a time of our own choosing. I wish that we lived in a world where our right to die is respected.

 

[Eternal Oblivion]

Dispair plus lack of knowledge about other methods.

People will go for the "easiest" when they lack more sophisticated ones.

I myself after research I'm sure that I want to go by N, but before that I was considering the hanging.

 

[houseofleaves]

This method provides a guaranteed death. You just need to position yourself in such a way so you will be beheaded. Nobody survives with their head chopped off. That's why i think it's popular.

Very simple people are on the verge of madness to put up with so much pain that they are willing to brutal methods for ctb, I spent my teenage years fantasizing about jumping in front of a train or jumping from a high place

 

[ilikepink]

i had a friend do this when we were teenagers. its been years and i still don't know how she did it. i drive by where she did it pretty often. all anyone did after she died was complain about the train delays.

 

[StrangePossum]

There were some kids in my area who did this a few years ago...they must have been really desperate and really determined. I thought about it a lot back then, but I don't think I could do it. Sounds messy and painful, plus you traumatize the train driver...

I'm new here, very new, and although I haven't formalized the way I'm going to leave when I get to that point, I don't think it would be SBT. Likewise, it wouldn't be SBC, either. To me either of these methods drag other people into my decision and I think it should be mine alone to make and mine alone to bear. I guess my last statement has an asterisk attached to it, though. If I were to be in such a bad way with extreme physical or psychological pain, I could see using any method available to me. I can understand someone reaching that place in their life. The way it is now for me is that I am tired. Tired of living. Tired of this world. Tired of me in this world. Scared of facing alone any extreme detriments that life may hurl at me as I get older. Nope, there has to be a better way. Not sure what that is, yet, though. It needs to be 100% effective the first time. That's the reason I wouldn't choose to use a firearm, too. If I mess up, I could be in far worse shape, possibly unable to even try another way. That scares me, too. And I'm reasonably sure that there would be pain with the SBT method, at least for a short amount of time. I need a way with no pain. I've lived with inner pain, albeit emotional, and oodles of inner turmoil, for most of my life, which is a form of pain, too, as many of you know. I think on my way out, I deserve to be going out painlessly.

They try and jump over it but fail.

 

[thedaywillcome]

Thats anyway wrong. You have to put your throat/hals on these train tracks.

The idea that you can put your throat on the train tracks and the train will run over your throat and sever your head is a myth- this doesn't work. The reason is because typically on the front of a train over each rail in front of the wheels is something that clears debris for the wheels gets to whatever is on the tracks out of the way- so then a person will either go flying or get pushed to the side or get pulled under the train. This device is called a cow catcher, and a definition of it is: "A cowcatcher, also known as a pilot, is the device mounted at the front of a locomotive to deflect obstacles on the track that might otherwise damage or derail it or the train."

Really?

Search on google by the term cowcatcher. It's definitely true that this will not work.

Yes

 

[onlyanimalsaregood]

I agree with some members. It's out of desperation. I have to admit that before I found SS I thought of this method too. But thanks to my medication, fortunately now I no longer have suicidal ideation.

I didn't know this information.

Yes if people have disass

Yes if you are deeply dissociated from feelings, thoughts, and your body you are capable of an impulsive act...like people who jump from buildings. I knew someone another patient who jumped. She was completely consumed by her depression. It was like a disease that took over her mind and body. I'm sure if I was in an acute manic psychosis I might be capable. Particularly because you feel invincible like being on a powerful drug. But not now.

 

[painofzed]

I think when you get to the state where you're ready to jump in front of a train balls probably has nothing to do with it. I think it's an act of desperation and the person probably isn't able to control themselves at that point they just NEED to CTB. This is of course just an opinion and based on my own personal experience from the time that I almost CTB, but came back to consciousness when the belt I was suspended from broke. When I woke up I was confused and didn't really remember what I had done for a few mins because I was in a state of panic, hopelessness, and desperation which made me just get up and go do it without really even thinking about it.

I think they must just do it I think about suicide all day every day so have done alot of research into it my memories shit so I can't remember the exact percentage but not a huge percentage die immediately most die hours later after I read that there's no way I could do it now I thought it would be instant so that's why I considered it but its pretty horrific why they can't just allow euthansia is bizarre to me we should not be made to suffer its cruel

 

[gottablast888]

i think if you know your life will be infinitely worse soon (for example.. youre going to jail) then it would be easier to jump in front of the train. i think a lot of ppl who chose this method think they will die instantly upon impact.

I saw a guy walk in front of a train when I was in high school. We were the first car at the crossing, he was carrying a gas can and looked at the train then slowly started walking, I was like wtf, he didn't going to make it. I have no doubt he knew he'd be struck and yet just seemed so calm. The train sent him flying in the air and it did kill him. I will never forget that, he had blood coming out of nose, mouth, ears and was clearly brain dead

Idc, it happened and it was terrible. I was 16 then and I'm 43 now
